Abstract
Gingival enlargements are one of the most common conditions affecting the periodontium. These enlargements occur due to a variety of factors, like plaque accumulation, hormonal changes, or systemic drug influence. Improper oral hygiene and microbial dysbiosis predispose an individual to plaque-induced gingival enlargement. The treatment strategy involves thorough oral prophylaxis and stringent oral hygiene maintenance. Described here is a case report of plaque-induced gingival enlargement, which has been managed with complete non-surgical and localized surgical periodontal therapy. The therapeutic intervention significantly reduced clinical parameters like bleeding on probing and periodontal pocket depth.
